Wallet Hubrecently relased their list of the happiest states in the US.

Unfotunately, Illinois did not land in the top ten of the list.

However, our neighbors to the north, Wisconsin, landed at #9 and Iowa to the east of us landed at #8.

What's most surprising is the state that got top honors as the happiest.

Are you ready for it?

Minnesota! I know right?

Now the big question is, where do we land on the map of happiness?

Well, Illinois is in the middle of the pack finding a home at #20 on the happiness scale of states. I guess that's not too bad. ??

WalletHub’s based their rankings of state happiness by drawing upon "the findings of “happiness” research to determine which environmental factors are linked to a person’s overall well-being and satisfaction with life. Previous studies have found that good economic, emotional, physical and social health are all key to a well-balanced and fulfilled life."
